General: Fully active and DSP-corrected standmount speaker. Small in size, enormous in sound.

Technology: The Kii Three is the masterpiece of Belgian designer Bruno Putzeys. It is a compact speaker packed with cutting-edge technology. What is particularly special about the Kii Three is its phase-correct reproduction, without timing errors. You rarely achieve this with a conventional speaker, and certainly not as tightly as with the Kii Three. The phase response is nearly perfect across the entire frequency range. But the most remarkable thing about the Kii Three is still its bass radiation. With every conventional speaker, passive or active, bass radiation below 200Hz spreads throughout the room in all directions. These bass tones reflect off walls, floors and ceilings, reinforcing and weakening the bass depending on where you stand. In one spot the bass is too heavy, a meter away the bass is completely absent. The Kii Three completely solves this problem. The Kii Three also radiates bass down to around 40Hz toward the front. However, this is not a simple solution. The Kii Three is a 3-way speaker equipped with a very powerful DSP, 6 separate DA Converters (one for each speaker unit), and 6 analog Ncore power amplifiers of 240 watts each. Each Kii Three therefore has 1440 watts of amplification on board. This is necessary to make each unit work together with the other units without timing errors and phase shifts. This solution is also necessary to be able to control the output below 200Hz. You preferably connect the Kii Three via the Kii Control to your Streamer, such as the excellent Antipodes streamers, directly via USB, or your Sonos Connect via Spdif, but there are also analog inputs available. You can then connect the Kii Three to your analog preamplifier. Via the Controller, the digital signal runs over a UTP cable to one speaker and then via a UTP cable through to the other speaker. Connect the power cable, and start playing. The design of the Kii Three is unique and very special, and you can hear it clearly too.

Listening: The Kii Three is easily positioned in virtually every room we know. Because the Kii Three barely influences the room in music reproduction, we can achieve optimal results almost anywhere. The first thing that stands out is the bass reproduction. This is graphite-deep and beautifully pure, and without overhang. The bass starts and stops very quickly and is perceptible everywhere in the room. The second thing that stands out is the dynamics. You can really play quite loudly with the Kii Three. It's hard to believe that this grand sound image comes from this compact speaker. Taps on a drum kit sound lifelike in your living room. The third thing that stands out is the purity of the system. The Kii Three sounds very clean, without sounding glassy. It doesn't matter whether you're playing Classical, Jazz, Pop, Rock or, as far as we're concerned, rock-hard Metal or Dubstep, the Kii Three swallows it all without protest. We know of no other compact speaker that performs like this. The voice reproduction is also of genuinely very good quality. If you consider the purchase price, which includes the DA Converters, preamplifier and 6 power amplifiers already built in, this is an absolutely advantageous purchase. Many High End speaker systems are challenged by so many musical qualities. Ohm-Audio bv is a full-time dealer of the Kii Three and it is therefore permanently set up for demonstration in our listening rooms.
